The hall was bustling with lights, the air was filled with the clinking of glasses, and the aromas of perfume, wine, and food blended together in the vast space.
Cheng Yuesheng followed behind his parents, determined to be invisible. As soon as his adopted sister Cheng Siyue arrived, she was pulled away by her fake sisters.
But being invisible wasn't something she could do just because she wanted to. Her appearance was particularly conspicuous in the crowd. Furthermore, Cheng's parents would often pull her out to show her off, making it impossible for her to keep a low profile.
Fortunately, today was the birthday party of the elders of the Xu family. The previous part was all traditional birthday celebrations, so Cheng's parents didn't dare to do anything too extravagant. After the traditional banquet, there was a free party. The Cheng family was busy socializing with others and had no time to pay attention to her, so Cheng Yuesheng immediately sneaked away.
"Sister Yuesheng, you are here too."
Cheng Yuesheng turned around and looked at Jiang Fuwen expressionlessly.
"Didn't I tell you not to call me sister?" Cheng Yuesheng said in a cold tone.
"But you are younger than me, so it's not wrong for me to call you sister!" Jiang Fuwen looked at her innocently.
"Anyway, don't call me sister." She gets goosebumps every time she hears it.
Cheng Yuesheng turned around and left, intending to stay away from this greasy guy.
When Jiang Fuwen saw Cheng Yuesheng about to leave, he followed her closely.
"Sister Yuesheng, let me ask you a question."
Seeing Cheng Yuesheng ignoring him, Jiang Fuwen didn't get angry and continued, "What's your relationship with the man who suddenly appeared when we had dinner last time?"
"Who are you talking about?" Cheng Yuesheng glanced at him.
"Who else could it be? I invited you to drink at the previous banquet but he wouldn't let me. Last time after dinner, I wanted to exchange contact information with you and he suddenly came out to interrupt me." Jiang Fuwen said in a wronged tone.
"By the way, Sister Yuesheng, I asked your sister for your WeChat and wanted to add you. Why didn't you accept?"
"Oh, you're too annoying. I don't want to approve it." Cheng Yuesheng saw his friend request before, thought about it and ignored it directly.
"Huh?!" Jiang Fuwen looked at her in disbelief and said, "How am I annoying?"
"It's really annoying that you keep following me like this." She had finally gotten rid of the Cheng family, but she didn't want another follower.
Cheng Yuesheng took a few small cakes and prepared to find a place to sit down and rest.
As a result, I saw Jiang Fuwen still following me.
"How long are you going to follow me?" she said impatiently.
"Can't I follow you?" Jiang Fuwen felt a little aggrieved. He didn't do anything!
"No, I want to be alone for a while." Cheng Yuesheng said firmly.
Jiang Fuwen stared at her for a few seconds, then said, "Okay!"
So he left feeling aggrieved.
Cheng Yuesheng found a place with fewer people and sat down to eat. He ate several small snacks and cakes in a row.
She had lunch with the Cheng family at noon, but she barely ate anything and was already hungry.
While eating, she also had to pay attention to the movements of the Cheng family, so as not to be found by her adoptive parents and dragged over.
At this time, someone sat down opposite her and called her, "Miss Cheng."
Cheng Yuesheng looked up and saw the golden boy that her adoptive father had envisioned.
"Hello, Mr. Qi." She didn't understand why this man was looking for her. Could it be that Cheng's father had said something to him?
"Miss Cheng, weren't you full just now?" Qi Yu asked.
What do you mean? Do you think you have a big appetite?
"Well, I didn't eat too much just now."
Qi Yu smiled and said, "Miss Cheng is a senior? Is she doing an internship now?"
"No." Cheng Yuesheng also lost his appetite, "I don't have an internship."
"Ms. Cheng's family also runs a company. Why don't you go to the company for an internship?" Qi Yu asked.
"The company belongs to my sister! Why should I go?" she said bluntly.
"Has your father confirmed that your sister will inherit the company?" Qi Yu frowned, and his elegant temperament suddenly became cold.
"Yeah." Cheng Yuesheng nodded, "That's what everyone says anyway."
She remembered that in the original plot, Cheng Siyue wanted to invest in the male protagonist's company. At that time, she already had a lot of say in her family's company.
"Ms. Cheng, I heard that you have not been in good health since childhood?" Qi Yu changed the subject and stopped dwelling on why she didn't go to her family's company for an internship.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" It seemed that many people knew that she was in poor health, and her step-sister seemed to have told many people about it.
"Have you ever thought about going to North City? There are better doctors there." Qi Yu asked with concern.
Although Cheng Yuesheng felt that his question was very presumptuous, the other party's eyes seemed to be full of concern and did not seem to have any bad intentions.
"Actually, I'm just a little weak, it's not a serious illness. I haven't thought about leaving Jiangzhou to live in another city yet." Cheng Yuesheng smiled and said, "Mr. Qi, I'm sorry, my friend is looking for me, I'll go over first."
Although the other party didn't seem to have any bad intentions, she still felt uneasy when he cared about her so much, so she decided to leave first.
"Cheng Yuesheng."
Cheng Yuesheng was wandering aimlessly through the venue when she suddenly heard Qin Heque's voice. Her heart trembled, and she slowly looked in the direction of the voice.
It really is him.
"Why are you here too?"
"Our family and the Xu family are old friends." Qin Heque had already seen Cheng Yuesheng, who was alone, and also saw the figures around her who were ready to make a move.
He walked to Cheng Yuesheng and blocked those gazes.
"Oh." She was a little embarrassed because she hadn't replied to him about the previous matter.
"You seemed quite happy chatting with them just now." Qin Heque looked at her slightly forced smile and said coldly.
